Comment LC-1179

Comment:

Definition of AUTHORED UNIT should be reviewed to make sure that it agrees, at a technical level, with the committee's intention. Currently it seems ambiguous about whether a Web unit is one type of authored unit, or whether an authored unit must consist of more than one Web units. Similarly, it is ambiguous about whether a subset of the content on a Web unit (e.g. a paragraph) written by a separate author than the surrounding content, is an authored unit. Finally, it clearly implies that a set of Web units written by multiple authors but intended to be used together as a set would not be an authored unit. Are those all correct interpretations?

Resolution - Pending Response:

We have reformulated the success criteria and glossary to remove both "authored unit" and "authored component" from the guidelines.
